If you’re waffling on why camping instead of another kind of vacation in June, think about these reasons:

1.       Camping is a great way to bond with family and friends, because it requires teamwork, tolerance and patience.

2.      Car camping is almost always cheaper than staying in hotels, and RV trips come out cheaper or about even, depending on the type of trip, with their own rewards built in.

3.      You can take your own food, which means meals can be as healthy or not as you want, cooked the way you want, when you want.

4.      It allows you to have schedule and itinerary flexibility.

5.      You get more immediate access to the outdoors.

6.      High safety factor – kids are able to move around freely in a campground setting, meet other kids and play.

7.      There’s usually something for everyone; you can choose an area where the group can divide up and find the activities that interest them, often in the same campground or resort.

8.      Campgrounds, RV parks and resorts are famous for being friendly and helpful.

9.      There is a campground near pretty much every major attraction in the country.

10.   Camping itself is flexible – you can camp in a tent, a cabin, an RV, a yurt, for a night or two weeks.
